XEmacsen since 21.2.something don't auto-decode images. There are reasons, I can't remember what they are, but there are reasons. To get around this, put the following in your '~/.xemacs/init.el' (or similar): ,---- | ;:*======================= | ;:* Image formats | (add-to-list 'format-alist | '(image/jpeg "JPEG image" "\377\330\377\340\000\020JFIF" | image-decode-jpeg nil t image-mode)) | (add-to-list 'format-alist | '(image/gif "GIF image" "GIF8[79]" | image-decode-gif nil t image-mode)) | (add-to-list 'format-alist | '(image/png "Portable Network Graphics" "\211PNG" | image-decode-png nil t image-mode)) | ;; XPM files are C program text, and as such should not | ;; be autodecoded by default.

If it's not there already, maybe this should go into the FAQ? -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 10D5C9C5>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
